I could if I wanted to… But I won’t.
That’s the story of my life, as it is for many. “I could quit bad habits and write a novel, but I’m stuck in my couch watching other peoples dream instead, as the years go by.” I’m going to show this movie to my young neighbour following the same path: “I’ll be an astronaut one day, but right now, I’ll just have a joint in the bath tub.” Steven Dorff is great in this role: sincere and sober (his acting, not the character). He is highly credible as a drunk cokehead and pothead. The realism is reinforced by the handshake camera and a couple of winks at the cameraman. I’m a fan of inclusions of supernatural into a realistic story: a movie is a fiction, so why being limited by the lows of physics? On the other hand, when a movie starts talking supernatural, it usually becomes a central point, leaving the characters soulless. Making digressions from a realistic comedy into a magical world is not common, except in some Latin American movies. They are often misunderstood by the viewers, as they aren’t complying to knows standards. When lows of physics are breached to serve the story, I find it perfectly acceptable. Aren’t teleportation, flying and telekinesis common in night dreams?

One of the worst films of 2015.
Stephen Dorff plays Melvin, an underachiever/slacker who is loved/worshiped by everyone in his community even though he has nothing to offer, does nothing all day, and spends most of his time partying (which is just wasting time, FYI.) Sooo much of this film are composite shots of him partying, freebasing, then screaming at the camera. “YA DUDE!” You’d think the filmmakers would trust us to understand the fact that Melvin spends his time getting wasted, but nope, they hammer montage after montage after montage down our throats juuuust in case. It’s okay that nothing in this film is subtle, but that doesn’t mean the film has to be brainless.

What kills me about “American Hero” is its blandness. Its premise is original and a fun take on the current super hero trend of movies, but its originality is criminally wasted. This movie is just plain boring, and annoying, given the many plot points brought up but not explored. For example, Melvin learns that if he uses his super hero powers too much he may die. After this revelation, it’s never mentioned again and has no effect for the rest of the film. Oi!

Melvin’s character is meant to appeal to slackers, underachievers, guys who think they’re above work… you know– men who live in fantasy worlds. Melvin is truly fictional, as he is someone who gets to have his cake and eat it too. He’s loved by all, has a beautiful wife and son, and by the film’s end he undergoes no arc, gets no job, no training, no nothing. The filmmakers had a demographic in mind for their audience–ie, loser men– and knew they couldn’t insult them by daring to suggest that Melvin changes his wasteful ways.

But Melvin’s like, way smart, you guys. He listens to Tchaikovsky (“The changes! The notes! The way it *crescendos!*” Gag, retch) and reads random passages from Guy de Maupassant, out of context in vain attempt to fool the audience into thinking that Melvin has a *clue* as to what he’s talking about. This “appreciation” for literature, and everything about Melvin—from the way he dresses, interacts with others, slumps over, tries to look cool, and wastes time just feeds into the slacker mindset: “I’ve got, like, *loads* of potential, man. I’m just not interested in joining the rest of the world. Now excuse me as I go and play as a character who offers essential skills to a world in a video game or D&D.”

Despite that “Undercover Brother” may be one of the worst movies I’ve seen (the gag throughout the whole thing: white people are lame! Get it?!) Eddie Griffin is a highlight in this movie. He’s a charming guy with real charisma. However, there’s one scene where Eddie’s character (Lucille) is in a hospital and hits on a nurse. I… gaped, watching that. The nurse laughs his chat up lines off, but in reality, they were so creepy she would have either flown out of the room or called security. The wheelchair Melvin gifts Lucille with at the end of film too was another awful touch. Just because Lucille is loud doesn’t mean you should put streamers on his chair’s handles, man.

Ever listen in on a tedious, empty, dumb conversation between a gang of spoiled, pretentious gits? That’s the tone of this movie.

Avoid.
